Apple, the makers of the iPhone, places restrictions on the themes available for display behind iPhone icons. But the iPhone Hack Toolkit, a creative software that's free to download and use, lets you hack into the iPhone system, "jailbreak" the iPhone, and change your theme. A number of sites provide iPhone themes for you to choose from.

Step1

Choose a new theme for the iPhone. There are several websites like PqDvd that provide themes for free download once you've hacked into your iPhone. The theme file you download will be in a .pkg format.

Step2

Install iTunes on the computer. You can find it on the Apple website. This software needs to be on your hard drive for the hacking program to work.
